Native Indian Prayer of Life

Lord Thanks You . . .

For my Heart which loves the

uniqueness of each living thing,

For my Mind which recognizes

the beauty of each living thing

And for my Soul which knows

that the way all living things

are the same is far more important

than the ways we are different.

To BE or Not To BE

A THING cannot BE and NOT BE at the same time. Therefore do not be fooled by illusions and promises.

How will you know the difference? By going deep within the core of your SOUL for yourself. Once you have a QUESTION (Burning desire for TRUTH) within IT (The Question) lies the ANSWER.

Therefore teachers of any kind should only be an initial guide to set you on a journey. You will only truly grow and mature when you choose to continue ALONE on the path they pointed out to you or choose another for yourself with your INNER Self as the new Guide.

This is first step to true spiritual Enlightenment.

One of Life's great truth.

The REALIZATION that there is no time but NOW.

Acceptance of this universal FACT (Truth) can eventually cause a SPIRITUAL awakening that can set you FREE eternally.

Anything that can be judged will soon need to be re-judged.

With this in mind one should always be careful not to label anything GOOD or BAD - easpecial BAD or EVIL.

Since we judge based on the content of our mind and the limited view we have of that which we judge. Therefore chances are, with a different view of the world and ourselves we will see that which we HAD judged DIFFERENTLY.

Therefoew be SLOW to JUDGE but alert to make conscious OBSERVATION.

The Secret is revealed. Or is it?

Now that the "The Secret" has been promoted on "The Oprah Show" it's principles will certainly reach and impact a wider cross section of people. I will admit that it was only after watching Oprah initial show about The Secret that I went out and brought both the Book and DVD. Prior to that I was not aware that the idea of The Secret had take the Internet by storm and was now doing the same with the book and DVD release.

The truth is, I can remember picking up the book several times in various book stores long before watching the Oprah show in February, 2007; the last time being at least thrice during December, 2006. I didn't buy the book then because I had forbidden myself from buying any new books since I have quiet a few I am yet to read.

But Oprah had spoken and like many others I responded.

However to my surprise the content of both the book and DVD is the same, so now I and re-reading the book sometimes and watching the DVD over and over when I am lazy to read the book. I have no disappointment with the content either way. Unlike the many critics of "The Secret" I find it revealing and timely. I will quickly follow that up by saying that it is true that most of what is explore and put forward in "The Secret" seem very familar to me and is clearly nothing new.

The above said I cannot understand why there are some folk that insisting that it is nothing new as if by saying that it will take away from the credibility of what's the purpose of "The Secret". Which is -- as I see it and view it to be - REVEAL and MAKE AVAILABLE to the MASSES an UNIVERSAL Principle that when consciously embrace can be life changeing.

Being born in Guyana, SOUTH AMERICA, I find myself thinking of the country all day today as I am sure is the case for most Guyaness the world over today. The reason being that today the 28th day of August, 2006 is election day in Guyana.

I feel a sense of joy because I know that no matter what the final outcome of today's General Elections, I feel that generally the majority of voters in Guyana will mature as educated voters who have choosen not to remain passive onlookers as they vote blindly or emotionally just to make a point.

I feel that on a spiritual level the masses are almost at a critical mass to bring about a Spiritual change the country needs to move forward in ONENESS.

Regardless of what that oneness may look like on the outside. I feel that spiritually the shift is taking place in the consciousness of every Guyanese. To which I know there will be those that will embrace the shift, those that will resist the shift and those that may not even feel, know or acknowledge that a shift has taken place or is taking place. This is okay because that is okay with the nature of the Spiritually universe and how things get manifested in the physical universe.

How do I know that there is a SHIFT taking place? The true be told I can't tell you I have sometime to say exactly what the shift is and how it is taking place. What I feel I can say is why it is clear a shift is taking place. The answer is in the talk of a possible - "Minority Government" after the elections.

Which I feel came about because of the following:-

• A secure sence of security in any society says alot of that society's governance and economic stability.
• Lacking of it in any area will lead to no confidence in those that are suppose to implement and enfore it.
• Failure of effective implementation and execution of this will over-time foster and promote dis-regards and dis-respect which WILL lead to LAWLESSNESS.

That said and taken in context for what it is - it then begs the question what is the state of GOVERNANCE in GUYANA after 14 years of "excellent leadership and equal opportunity for all". What is even more interesting to see is that the present Government is losing the support of their happy supporters which could easily lead to a historical minority Government.

If and when that happens the power that has obviously gone to the heads of those entrusted to lead and governed will soon be lose eventually make no mistake about that. Because history will show that nothing last forever because "change is the LAW of the physical UNIVERSE" and no ONE is above UNIVERSAL LAWs.

With that in mind I KNOW all is well for the country I love so much. It is sad that those presently in power did not use the 28 years the previous Government had to make their mistakes to learn and not do the same or similar acts.

However that is the nature of the "TWO EDGED SWORD called POWER" or "A false sense of POWER" - when you don't have it or in the driving seat with it - you feel deep in your heart that you know exactly how you would use it for the betterment and enrichment of all. However most times when many taste it or at least 90% of the time they succumb to its charm and abuse it.

Hence all those that admire, wish and seek it, should be aware it can a SNAKE dress up as a DOVE, if your motives are rooted in anything other than respect, tolerance, diversity and alliance on every level.

That said - my final thought is for any group of people calling them themselves a party for change in Guyana or continued development in the country would do will to demonstrate respect, tolerance, diversity and alliance on every level.

Starting perhaps with working to eliminate the "Executive Power" element of the Commander-in-Chief as now support by the present Constitution - to reflect perhaps that President and his or her top parliamentary executives serve two terms then must leave and a fresh body of consciousness take charge.

This should not necessarily mean that the group that he or she lead be changed if the voters feel THEIR INTERESTs are being fully represented.

May Allah, God, Budha and/or the Universal Energy in Motion continue to keep GUYANA and its offspring in harmory and divine order.

These are my thoughts as I accept things as they are unfolding in the world on this day the 23rd July, 2006

• Could it be that we are in constant conflict with each other because we are all - most of us anyway - in constant conflict with ourselves?
• Could it be that we fear each other becauce our hidden desire is to control each?
• Could it be that we are all lying to each other and ourselves about each other?
• Could it be that we are all wrong about who we really are in this temperal phase earthly existence?

These are just my thoughts express aloud and not in any way meant to offend. However humblely put forward as I reflect on my own areas of inner conflicts which I know have most cases lead to external conflicts in my own world and close relationships.

I am not in anyway going to give my opinion about the movie "The Da Vinci Code" or take side in the debate for or against. However I will saying that after three attempts on the opening weekend of the movie, I finally got to see the movie. Yes I was among the millions that did so.

Remember I said I was not going to give an opinion because to do so would be to take side. If like me you have not read the book (I have no desire to at this time but since I read alot I may do so at some point) and would like to know what all the fuss is about then you now have a choice - read the book or watch the movie. Either way the only opinion I will put forward here is that you will certainly leave with food for thought.

I was really impress and surprise by the wide cross religious people that was lining up to see the movie. Clearly tons of non-christain (their way of dress was the give away and I sat surrounded by several.) This lead me to confirm a little known theory by the mass and but a popular belief among independent thinkers that more and more people the world over are becoming more independent thinkers especially when it comes to their spirituality and are willing to seekout and explore to find their own truths.

Hence the large number of people who went to see the movie and those that are making it a point to find their own truth by reading the book. To this I will venture to say that the man called Jesus would be happy for those that profess to love him and are walking in his footsteps by being independent thinkers. Because the world has christainity today because Jesus (a born Jew) was an independent thinker whose dreams were for others to embrace their true devinity which would be best achieve by being an independent thinker like him.

I think he would have been very proud if he was alive today but then again if history had gone differently and he was not killed because of his independent thinking there would not have been any christains because there might not have been those out to kill his followers (since there were fear of another madman coming forward in his name) after his death who were referred to as christians or followers of Christ.

What you think about you cause to become.

You are the sum total of what you are thinking about most of the time.

It is generally accepted or believed by most that on the invisible level of our being there is an invisible core or self to our physical being. Therefore it is safe to say that our "invisiable self", "Soul", “Spirit” or “the Energy of Life” cause all things to become manifested or visible.

With this as the belief system that govern one's existence, one may then embrace the concept that as a “Spiritual Being” having a human experience we have within us - the Realm of Infinite Ideas (One's mind) from which to pull (to think or process thoughts) that will shape one's actions and behavoirs in our visible world based on our desires or intentions.

To do this, we need to master; (like Moses, Jesus, the Buddha, Gandhi, Mohammed and the many others like them) the following:

1. Power of Thinking

It is through thinking that man forms that which he has in his life.

Using this law we can bring forth whatever we have in mind. Be it Productive or Negative (destructive) to ourselves; therefore whatever is productive; think on those things only.

2. The Law of Demonstration

Is supported by "The Law of Mind Action" which is 'Whatever you think about you bring about.'

It is said that the man named Jesus said "Let your will be done on earth (in your physical world) as it is in heaven (your mind - what you are thinking."

We are nothing but ENERGY in constant MOTION.

After years of conscious self exploration and self evaluation I will have to agree with the notion that the everything in the physical Universe is really ENERGY in Constant MOTION - including us - HUMAN BEING. Therefore you and me along with every human being are BEING of ENERGY clothed in FLESH.

Infact even the Flesh, bones and the other physical stuff that make us up at the our visible level of expression is invisible ENERGY or non-material stuff that is vibrating at a relatively slow speed that causes it to appear solid as against its TRUE nature of invisible energy vibration or energy in motion.

It is at our energy vibration level of being that everything in our physical Universe that every is created or caused to become manifested as our daily reality. Unfortuately most of our physical creation or manifestations has it origin in FEAR based energy vibration.

It is this FEAR that causes most of us to behave in ways that unconsciously negotiate and attract the very thing we wish not to have in our lives. Hence we can say it is FEAR that negotiate for us at our subconscious level of BEING and shows up in our physical world (life situations) as challenging issue - human conflicts, natural events or as simple as what we may call - "I am having a BAD day or Life."

All of this is control or can be manipulated by our power of thinking and this has be proved and handed down to every generation in many different ways that - "You are what you are Thinking". The interesting part of all of this is that since most of us live in fear, it is n surprise that we have a world that is not really what we would like it to be because unconsciously we are creating the physical Universe with our collective FEAR.

However the key to note is that the ENERGY level of our BEING there is no discrimination of the vibration of ENERGY. Therefore it is safe to say that our physical Universe is created by the conscious and/or unconscious manipulation of this ENERGY (Spirit) with our individual and collective thoughts (ways of thinking).
